Wood Post Layout & Installation

Using Bolt Down Brackets

for Concrete or Wood Surface

Measure and mark out the location of the pergola posts using

string or chalk line. Diagonal distances must be the same to

ensure a square installation. Adjust string lines accordingly.

The inside corner of the string lines will be the post location.

Mark out the location of bolt down brackets using the base of

the bracket accordingly.

Using a 5/32” masonry drill bit, drill 3“ deep holes

to allow installation of 2 1/2” concrete screws. (Not included)

Proceed to install three 2 1/2” concrete screws into the bottom

base of the bolt down bracket.(Not included)

Please Note:

Concrete patios generally have sloped surface for water run-off.

If this is the case, when you secure the bolt down bracket to the

concrete, the bracket may be at an angle. This can be corrected

for level using galvanized steel washers (not provided), acting

as shims underneath the base to level - VERY IMPORTANT OR

With the four post brackets installed plumb, proceed to set

the 4x4x8’ wood post in place. Secure using the wood screws

included in the kit.

Repeat for all 4 posts.

Please Note:

Some 4x4 pressure treated wood posts can be larger than 3 1/2 x

3 1/2 square due to twisting or cracking. We have allowed a

tolerance for this in the post brackets and the internal one way and

two way 4x4 wood post guides. However in extreme cases, you

may need to shave down the end of your 4x4 wood post slightly

to allow access.
